The Merlin 3000S Demand Control Interlocking Panel is a state-of-the-art, fully automated kitchen control system housed within a sleek, user-friendly control panel. Engineered for complete control of commercial kitchens, the Merlin 3000S offers a myriad of features designed to optimize kitchen performance, safety, and energy efficiency.
This advanced system adjusts the speed of extraction fans via a 0-10V DC output based on CO2 levels and gas usage. Additionally, it provides an optional proving system for appliances without flame failure devices (FFDs), ensuring comprehensive safety. The system can also monitor smoke and steam in the canopy through optical sensors and detect heat in the extraction ducting using temperature sensors. For the most accurate and safest results, all sensors should be utilized together.
Automatic Fan Speed Control: Adjusts fan RPM based on CO2 levels and gas usage to maintain a comfortable and efficient working environment, reducing noise and energy costs.
Carbon Monoxide & Dioxide Monitoring: Ensures continuous monitoring and safe removal of harmful gases, activating the extraction system automatically as needed.
Optional Gas Proving System: Essential for kitchens with appliances lacking FFDs, enhancing safety and compliance.
Smoke & Steam Detection: Utilises optical sensors and heat detection to monitor venting gases, maintaining optimal ventilation rates as per DW/172 standards.
Interlocking Ventilation System: Works with fan current sensors or air PD switches for seamless integration.
Real-Time Monitoring: Provides live data on gas consumption and CO2 levels for better management and safety.
Fan RPM Control: Adjusts extraction force based on kitchen usage for optimal performance.
TFT Color Display: Full-color display for easy monitoring and control.
Dual Canopy Control: Capable of operating up to two canopies, ideal for large-scale kitchens.
Compatibility: Works with Methane, LPG, and CO detectors.
Integration: Can be linked to remote knock-off buttons, fire alarms, and Building Management Systems (BMS).
